Default Upgrading to LS1 brakes?

What all is needed to go from an LT1 brake system to an LS1's system?

Would it be worth it?

Yes it would be worth it. Off the top of my head, youll need spindles, calipers, rotors, brake lines, pads, and pad abument brackets.

It would be a little easier to go with the C5 upgrade. Considering that its hard finding spindles that arent bent. Unless you got new ones.

The ls1 upgrade is a excellent upgrade and very cheap in price. The only downfall of the bigger brakes are the drag wheels.. there seems to be clearance issue's with some wheels because of the bigger brakes.
